Everything Is Crab

Everything Is Crab is an action roguelite set in a living ecosystem. Each run, you choose animal-inspired evolutions to shape your creature’s abilities, appearance and survival strategy, then try to thrive without following the path of convergent evolution that turns organisms into crabs.

Evolve your creature

More than 125 abilities combine into different builds and playstyles. Evolutions can define your strategy, while combinations of legs, claws, pincers, wings, fur, tails, scales and tentacles shape your creature’s appearance. You can become a trickster, predator, leader or nomad, among other survival strategies.

Explore the ecosystem

The ecosystem contains many kinds of critters, each with its own goals and strategies and several stages of evolution. Four distinct biomes have different rules, climates, events, points of interest, plants and animals. A day-and-night cycle and bosses that may or may not appear in each run add further variation.

Runs and progression

The game includes a large meta-progression system, a difficulty system and Genetics, which determine starting characters and can be combined to create many starting-character combinations. Challenge Scenarios test your ability to adapt, while the Codex tracks your findings, meta-progression and achievements. You can unlock Endless runs by proving your survival skills; these remove the timer and challenge you to outlast the apocalypse.
